My new 12'' PB works beautifully.. I have nothing to complain about except for one little thing....

Since I still have dial-up internet, I end up being online for hours at a time... Internet Connect prompts me every so often with a message asking if I want to remain connected... is there any way to shut this off? If I'm away and don't respond to the message, I get booted offline.

In the Network preference pane, show your internal modem. Select the PPP tab. Click on the button titled "PPP Options...". The second item from the top is "Prompt every xx minutes to maintain connection". Turn this off.
